Lost at Sea: The Atlantic Claims 10 Men

Commercial fishing is the most lethal labor in the United States. Between 1992 and 1996, 380 fishermen died. They were drowned, frozen to death or crushed or mangled by their gear and machinery. They risk the danger for the love of the sea, the independent lifestyle and, most of all, for money. Inquirer reporter Doug Campbell covered the unfolding disasters that plagued the Atlantic clamming industry during the winter of 1999. In this book, he follows the sinkings of four clamboats and tells the stories of those who survived and the 10 men who were Lost at Sea.
